1/2″ Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket – Complete 8-36mm Range

Overview

These 1/2" drive, 6-point long hand sockets deliver the reach and precision your technicians need for fastening work in confined spaces and recessed applications. The extended length (77mm) combined with the 6-point design provides reliable grip and reduces fastener rounding—a critical advantage over 12-point sockets in high-torque scenarios. Chrome-plated construction ensures longevity in shop environments, while the knurled grip ring near the base offers tactile control during hand operation. Whether you're stocking individual sockets or building complete socket sets, these tools represent essential inventory for any professional shop.

If you're looking to expand your socket offering, consider complementary tools like impact-rated deep sockets or universal joint extensions to maximize customer value.

Why This Product Matters for Your Business

Margin & Inventory Efficiency Individual socket pricing allows flexible bundling—create custom kits targeting specific customer segments (engine work, suspension, transmission rebuilds) rather than forcing full sets. Higher perceived value with lower inventory footprint.

Customer Loyalty & Repeat Orders 6-point sockets outperform 12-point tools in durability and fastener preservation. When customers experience fewer stripped bolts and fastener damage, they return to your shop—and recommend you to peers. This is a tangible quality signal.

Shelf Life & Turnover Chrome-plated hand tools have virtually unlimited shelf life. No batteries, no calibration drift, no obsolescence. Stock confidently without risk of dead inventory.

Competitive Positioning Long-reach sockets are often overlooked in budget catalogs. Offering them signals expertise and professionalism, justifying premium pricing over discount suppliers.

Stock This Complete Range

With 24 sizes from 8-36mm, you can confidently serve diverse customer needs without special orders. The long profile is particularly valuable—many competitors stock only short and standard sockets, leaving you an opportunity to differentiate.

Recommendation: Stock in bulk across all sizes. Turnover is predictable, margins are consistent, and customer satisfaction builds brand loyalty.
